by Riko Seibo Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Mar 30. 2026 Regular perovskite solar cells, which place the electron transport layer beneath the perovskite absorber and the hole transport layer on top, face limits for large scale manufacturing and operational stability. Inverted perovskite solar cells reverse the positions of the electron and hole transport layers, […]
by Riko Seibo Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Mar 30. 2026 A new review in the journal Energy and Environment Nexus examines how advances in the geometric design of tubular solid oxide fuel cells could speed their adoption in cleaner and more efficient energy systems. The authors provide a detailed survey of fabrication methods, structural configurations, and […]
by Clarence Oxford Los Angeles CA (SPX) Mar 11, 2026 Electrons can be kicked across solar materials at almost the fastest speed nature allows, challenging long-held theories about how solar energy systems work. The discovery could help researchers design more efficient ways to harvest sunlight and convert it into electricity by exploiting how molecules vibrate […]
by Riko Seibo Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Mar 09, 2026 Crystalline silicon solar cells dominate the global photovoltaic industry, and tunnel oxide passivating contact (TOPCon) architectures are rapidly gaining market share because they offer strong performance while remaining compatible with existing manufacturing lines. Industrial TOPCon cells, however, have struggled to approach their theoretical conversion limits, with […]
by Clarence Oxford Los Angeles CA (SPX) Mar 09, 2026 A team from the Institute of Materials Science of Seville, a joint center of the Spanish National Research Council and the University of Seville, has developed a hybrid energy harvesting device that can generate electricity from both sunlight and rainfall at the same time. The […]
by Riko Seibo Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Feb 17, 2026 A research team from the Wuhan National Laboratory for Optoelectronics and the School of Optical and Electronic Information at Huazhong University of Science and Technology has reported a new advance in all perovskite tandem solar cells, resolving a key bottleneck in tunnel junction design.
